The Chief Minister of the Indian capital Delhi Arvind Kejriwal has resigned after after only 49 days in power because his attempts to introduce a new anti-corruption bill were blocked in the city's legislative assembly. From Delhi, here's Sanjoy Majumder.

印度首度德里首席部长阿文德·柯内瓦尔(Arvind Kejriwal)上台仅49天之后辞职，因为他试图引入新的反腐法案的努力在立法议会遭到阻碍。Sanjoy Majumder在德里报道。

India has national elections due in about 2 months from now. And Mr. Kejriwal was definitely planning to launch his party's campaign for those national elections. But there are many critics, of course, who are questioning his move to run away from government as it were. Reporters believe that it's a move that would probably increase the support base. Mr. Kejriwal, for some time now, has been the country's leading anti-corruption crusader, and something which a lot of Indians identify with because something many of them are up against almost on a daily basis. So, Mr. Kejriwal is able to trap in to normal,everyday grievances, and use that to increase and enhance his political appeal.
